The kilogram per cubic metre (symbol: kg·m−3, or kg/m3) is the unit of density in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined by dividing the SI unit of mass, the kilogram, by the SI unit of volume, the cubic metre. [1]

The kilogram-metre (or more often the kilogram-kilometre) is a unit of measurement indicating that 1 kg (lets assume of coal) has been moved 1 km (towards, for example, a power station). It's used by big freight companies, governments etc. as one metric of how much hauling they're doing.

The SI has special names for 22 of these coherent derived units (for example, hertz, the SI unit of measurement of frequency), but the rest merely reflect their derivation: for example, the square metre (m 2), the SI derived unit of area; and the kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m 3 or kg⋅m −3), the SI derived unit of density.

Kilogram per meter (kg/m) is a metric measurement unit of linear or linear mass density.

Kg/m = Mass (kg) / Volume (m³) For example, if your brick of cheddar weighs 5 kg and has a volume of 0.1 cubic meters (because it's a fancy, rectangular cheese), then: Kg/m = 5 kg / 0.1 m³ = 50 kg/m
